Samsung Launches the Fastest Android Smartphone to Date - the Galaxy S5 Plus, What's New? Here are the Specs and Features of the Newly Upgraded Galaxy S5

The popular Samsung Galaxy S5 now comes in a better and upgraded version: Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus. It now comes with a faster chipset - Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805 chip, and it's Qualcom's fastest and most efficient chipset to date. Given the fact that Samsung just launched the Galaxy S5 LTE-A in Korea, the company is back with another great version of the top-notch Galaxy S5 smartphone.

S5 Plus still looks a lot like the previous S5, but it's the fastest Android-run smartphone to date. It works on the same hardware as the Note 4 and the new Nexus 6 phone tablets.

The difference between the previous chipset and the latest chipset is that the S5 Plus now comes with a better memory bandwidth, which increased by about 70% than the previous S5. Multitasking is faster than ever. The Plus also comes with an upgraded GPU, which is faster and more power efficient. It also comes with a better 4G feature. The Plus can now support up to 300Mbps of downloads as opposed to the 150Mbps of previous S5. Both S5 and S5 Plus have upload rates of 50Mbps.

Other than the ones mentioned, the S5 Plus comes with similar specs and features of the previous S5, including the 2GB RAM, 4K Ultra HD video recording, 16GB internal storage, and the 2,800mAh battery. The S5 Plus still comes with the same 16-megapixel camera, 5.1-inch display (1920 x 1080 pixels), and MicroSD slot. It also still measures 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm, and weighs 145 grams. The S5 Plus is still water resistant.

Unfortunately, the S5 Plus comes with a lower 2.5GHz than the 2.7GHz of Note 4 and Nexus 6. Also, unlike the LTE-A model of S5 in Korea, the S5 Plus didn't come with the 2560 x 1440 pixel (2k) resolution and 3GB RAM, which are also features of the Note 4.
